if at first you don’t succeed
try try again
for the righteous falls seven times
and rises again1
the adage of perseverance
continuing despite failures
small and large
is experience hard won
it’s a path paved gold
in loss and grief and pain
yet it’s not without
rewards
it beckons over and over

This is definitely true. You can’t do anything other than try again if you fail at something the first few times.
